Hoodoo trail, 2007+

Banff is granted of many hikes inside the city limits and one of the most compelling is the Hoodoo trail name after those giants pieces of stones shaped by natural hazards such as snow, rain and wind located at the end of the trail, at the heart of the Bow valley. The trail start at Surprise corner in front of Bow falls and the Banff's Spring hotel. The trail follow the Bow river and some arms of that river. Once we reach the Hoodoos, the view of the mountains is breaktaking. So many opens ranges and Mount Rundle look really impressive from that view point. Rundle is an uplift of 12 km and on one side the vertical drop is dropping dead into the Bow valley with such majesty to impress almost anyone on earth. Rundle Mountain is definetly one of the most dramatic mountain in the Canadian Rockies and a personnal favorite for many locals. Also, many ravens are flying troughtout the valley because the wind is really strong. A must to do hike for all nature lovers that dont want to get to crazy or too deep in the forest and Bear country. My last venture in that area was with Megan on July 2010 and we had such a good time.
